Mansa Devi Temple, Haridwar

About This Activity

Visit the revered Mansa Devi Temple perched atop Bilwa Parvat hill in Haridwar, one of the most sacred Shakti temples in North India. Goddess Mansa Devi is believed to fulfill devotees' wishes. Reach the temple via a scenic cable car (ropeway) ride or by climbing 1.5 km of steps through forested paths. The temple offers panoramic views of Haridwar city and the Ganges flowing through the valley. Built by Maharaja Gopal Singh in 1811, the temple is a major pilgrimage site. Devotees tie sacred threads to wish trees, and return after their wishes are fulfilled to untie them. The temple complex includes smaller shrines and offers a peaceful atmosphere above the bustling city. Located about 45 minutes from Rishikesh.
